Eye Security app review: entertainment purposes only
Introduction
If you’re looking to frighten off would-be intruders then you might like to try downloading Eye Security onto your iPhone and iPad as it poses as a retinal scanner. This app has fooled a fair few customers so it should be more than enough to at least keep a few hopeful thieves at bay!

This is a pretty fun idea for an app but please be aware that it is in the Entertainment category of the App Store for a reason; it has been designed for entertainment purposes only, so there is no actual eye-scanning functionality.
Novelty Eye Scanner
What we have here is a novelty eye scanner utility for your iOS device that you can use to at least uphold the pretense of enhanced security on your iPhone and iPad.

Once you lock your phone with this app there will be a hidden button nestled safely away in the corner of the screen; tapping in the right spot will bring up the security interface and you can do the rest.
